After Action Report "Punch Through" A Harpoon Classic scenario for the original NACV Battleset "Punch Through" was one of my favourites in the old times. It always gave me close and hard fought out battles. To be honest, I usually lost. In this scenario the red aircraft are rather well coordinated and heavily press the Nato defenders of Stornoway and Kevlavik. And so things getting started many years after the last scenario run. I start with setting up my GIUK CAP and an Iceland based Sentry. Soon after that one wave after the other attacks. SU-24 Fencers, Badgers, Backfires. The typical Soviet Cold War inventory. Nasty surprises include…
